Howdy.

A concept I just came up with, and I thought “why not share it here ?”. Feel free to comment on my “meh, not so bad I guess” skills – don’t be hating too much though.

10/10 would wear it. It’s a really cool thought, but I think it’d be incredibly difficult to implement, and I can’t really see my character wearing pauldrons with wings on them, but it’s still pretty cool.

Yeah, it could be a bit awkward to walk around with those as pauldrons. ^^ Thanks.

It’s a cool idea and a great drawing, but honestly, I think the wings in-game look horrible. They’re corny and poorly designed—the constant flightless flapping just adds to how silly they look. That’s arenanet’s fault of course, not yours. Done right, it could work—my taste for wings in Gw2 has just been soured.
Wings could be cool, if they would fold shut when a character is out of combat, unfurl halfway and beat gently when the weapon is drawn, and unfurl all the way and beat with more strength when the character is attacking. That would lend some realism to what is, at the moment, just a flashy back item that makes characters look bad

Amen to this.

Nicely drawn, but imho wings-on-back don’t really fit in the game, especially in the way they’re currently implemented.

IT’S A SWORD. THEY’RE NOT MEANT TO BE SAFE.

Same opinion on this than yours. I had it in mind when I was drawing, that’s why I made it look like a pauldron. With the proper animations it could be neat, and that’s where the problem is, no cool/sinister/impressive looking wings with believable animations, no reason to wear them.
